Three Methods for Finding the Solution of a System of Two Linear Equations in Two Variables:
Definition:
A system of linear equation is a set of two or more linear equations that have variables in common.
A pair of equations of the form,
a 1 x+ b1 y=c 1 and (a 1 , b1 not both 0)
a 2 x+ b2 y=c 2 (a 2 , b2 not both 0)
is called a system of linear equations in two variables.
Examp
Form a system of linear equations that describes each problem below.
a. The sum of two numbers is 5. Twice the first number plus thrice the second number is twelve.
Solution:
Together, the two equations form a system of linear equations that describes the problem.
x+y=5 Eq. 1
2x + 3y = 12 Eq. 2
Solution
A solution of a system of equations is an ordered set of numbers that makes all equations in the system true.
In example above, x = 3 and y = 2 make both equations true, so they form a solution to a given system. We can
check by substituting the values in each equation.
Equation 1: x + y = 5 Equation 2: 2x + 3y = 12
3+2=5 2(3) + 3(2) = 12
5 = 5 True 6 + 6 = 12
12 = 12 True
Examp
Determine whether each ordered pair (0, 4), (4, 8), or (2, 3) is a solution to the system of equations
x + 2y = 8
5x – 2y = 4
Solution:
In both equations, replace x with 0 and y with 4.
x + 2y = 8 5x – 2y = 4
0 + 2(4) = 8 5(0) – 2(4) = 4
0+8=8 0–8=4
8 = 8 TRUE –8 = 4 FALSE
Because (0,4) does not satisfy both equations, it is not a solution of the given system of linear equations.
Determine whether each ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equations
2x + 5y = 20
3x – 4y = 7.
a. (5, 0)
b. (3, 2)
c. (5, 2)

Definition
Consistent – a system of linear equations that has at least one solution.
Inconsistent – a system of linear equations that does not have a solution.
Dependent – a system that has an infinite number of solutions.
Independent – a system that has exactly one solution.
Example
Classify the system as Consistent and Independent, Inconsistent and Independent, or Consistent and
Dependent.
a. 2x = 8 – 3y
2x + y = 6
Solution:
First, rewrite each in standard form (ax + by = c):
. 2x = 8 – 3y 2x + 3y = 8
2x + y = 6 2x + y = 6
2 3
and then note that ≠ .
2 1
Hence, the system has only one solution and therefore is consistent and independent.
b. x = 4y + 7
12y = 3x – 11
Solution:
We first rewrite each in standard form:
x – 4y = 7
3x – 12y = 11
1 −4 27
And then note that = ≠
3 −12 11
1 1 27
= ≠ .
3 3 11
c. 5x = 15 – 5y
4x + 4y = 12
Solution:
We first rewrite each in standard form:
5x + 5y = 15 x+y=3
4x + 4y = 12 x+y=3
1 1 3
and note that = = .
1 1 3
Hence, the system has an infinite number of solutions and therefore is consistent and dependent.
Examp
Classify the system as Consistent and Independent, Inconsistent and Independent, or Consistent and
Dependent.
a. x – 3y = 8 b. 2x = 8 – 2y c. 3x + 4y = 7
2x – 6y = 5 5x = 20 – 5y 2x – 3y = 5
